Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 265 Chaos
"Block."

"Be careful."

"Go, go, go."

Several powerful figures at the "Limit of Kings" or "Peak of Kings" level, including King Linyuan, who were skilled in soul attacks, were anxiously calling out and directing the members of the alliance through telepathic communication.

Jiang Ye was in the camp and was relatively safe at the moment.

He turned his gaze to the distance and saw that the sealed star was already surrounded by powerful figures.

There, roars and explosions mingled, blinding light shone, and energy raged.

Jiang Ye pondered to himself, "Just now, they were in the human camp, with tens of thousands of immortals gathered together. Although they were divided into small alliances, they lived in peace with each other and did not kill each other. When the attacks from afar reached them, they only occasionally had a combined attack that landed on their heads. At that time, everyone worked together to defend once and that was it. Overall, it was not too dangerous."

However, the closer they got to the sealed star, the more out of control the situation became, turning into a chaotic battle.

Jiang Ye had a premonition that the first immortal in the alliance would soon fall.

"rush!"

With a command given, Jiang Ye's team, consisting of over a thousand immortal gods, surged forward like a torrent towards the sealed star.

At the same moment, dozens of other teams around also rushed towards Zhenfeng Star.

Meanwhile, the team lagging behind unleashed a series of combined attacks, sending powerful energy beams, like dragons emerging from the sea, hurtling towards the location of the sealed star!
"Boom~~~"

The surrounding area of ​​the sealed star was filled with deafening roars, and the space seemed to be kneaded and twisted by an invisible giant hand, completely transformed into a surging stream of particles.

Despite the increasing number of teams approaching, no one dared to rush in rashly.

The combined attacks of the various teams almost all landed heavily on Zhenfeng Star, and their power had reached the terrifying level of "Universe Destroyer Venerable".

However, this Star-Sealing Pagoda truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure nurtured by the Star Tower; it remained completely unharmed despite such a fierce bombardment.

As teams rushed to the front, the number of teams responsible for bombarding from the rear gradually decreased, and the intensity of the bombardment also weakened... However, as the number of teams closest to Zhenfeng Star increased, the combined strength of these numerous teams was enough to easily block the bombardment from the rear.

It's a long story!

What seemed like a long process actually ended just 12 seconds after the "Star-Sealing Suppressor" was created, when the Star-Sealing Suppressor finally stopped being bombarded.

However, due to the powerful impact, it continued to fall rapidly downwards at an angle due to inertia.

"Treasure hunt!"

"The Starry Sky is mine!"

In an instant, the immortals of all races seemed to be ignited with a frenzied desire, surging towards the sealed star like a tidal wave.

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than ten thousand alien immortals rushed to the surface of the sealed star.

This sealed star is like a colossal object comparable to a planet. Even if more than 100,000 immortals were to fall on it, it would not appear crowded at all.

These alien immortals couldn't wait any longer and, as quickly as possible, infiltrated the sealed star with their "immortal power" like fine threads, attempting to imprint their soul mark and thus gain control of this treasure.

However, to control a treasure, one must completely imprint one's soul mark. Although the time required is not long, if more than 10,000 alien immortals act at the same time, the difference between the fastest and the slowest is probably less than 0.1 seconds.

In such a short period of time, the numerous soul imprints interfered with each other, naturally all ending in failure.

After all, the brand mark must be unique and cannot be disturbed in the slightest; a precious treasure can only have one owner in the end.

……

Although Jiang Ye and his team were among the first to land on Zhenfeng Star, the number of immortal gods on Zhenfeng Star had already exceeded ten thousand.

Jiang Ye reached out and gently stroked Zhenfeng Xingchen, attempting to imprint his mark but failed. He shook his head inwardly, thinking helplessly, "In such a chaotic situation, how easy is it to subdue Zhenfeng Xingchen?"

As expected, the number of immortal gods on the sealed star continued to climb: forty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand...

"Boom!" Suddenly, a terrifying combined attack from afar descended like lightning.

The thousands of immortals on the sealed star who were facing this attack threat all simultaneously and unanimously deployed defensive measures.

Although the attack was easily blocked, the enormous impact caused Zhenfeng Xingchen to plummet downwards at an even faster speed.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of attacks came from afar like a torrential rain, but the alien immortal gods on the sealed star easily withstood them time and time again thanks to their sheer numbers.

"It's them." Jiang Ye keenly sensed the abnormality. He glanced around and saw that there were about 30,000 immortal gods floating in mid-air in the distance, divided into teams.

Among them, nine extraordinary beings, including the Tower Dragon King, the Mysterious Tomb King, and the Seven Swords King, each led their teams and remained quietly at a distance, showing no sign of rushing over.

"I see. No wonder these powerful figures didn't make a move at first. Their strengths differ, and so do their methods of acquiring treasures." Jiang Ye suddenly understood.
The Immortals, including King Lin Yuan, were relatively weak and could only exert all their strength to reach the Sealed Star as quickly as possible, hoping to gain an advantage in the competition. However, powerful beings like King Ta Long were confident they could kill any lucky Immortal who obtained the Sealed Star and seize the treasure.

"Run away!"

"Run away!"

Just then, a mournful voice suddenly spread from all directions. Many immortal gods panicked and anxiously sent messages to their surroundings, and then one by one they frantically fled from the sealed star.

"Boom~~"

It turned out that Zhenfeng Xingchen was falling directly downwards at an extremely fast speed.

The previously invisible barrier below, though pierced and torn apart, was formed from the energy of the Star Tower. Now, though shattered, the shockwaves released from its fragments became even more violent. Many immortal gods who had been attacked by opposing factions during their escape, even those who survived, were blasted away and inadvertently came into contact with the raging energy of the Star Tower below…

"puff!"

In an instant, whether they were at the initial stage of Kinghood, the peak stage of Kinghood, or the limit of Kinghood, once they fell downwards and had no time to dodge, they were hit by those violent energy waves and instantly turned into ashes, leaving not even a trace.

Some powerful individuals' weapons were also damaged by this terrifying energy impact, and some lower-quality world rings were even directly shattered. Only those world rings of superior quality might survive.

"This power..." Jiang Ye gasped upon seeing it, his heart filled with astonishment.

That originally stable, invisible barrier had been suppressing countless sealed stars and imprisoning the terrifying energy contained below.

But once shattered, the invisible barrier itself instantly transforms into a violent destructive force. Combined with other equally powerful and aggressive energies, these are all the magical powers nurtured by the Star Tower... They easily annihilate one powerful king after another, as if these once high and mighty experts are like ants in front of them. Anyone who dares to touch them rashly will surely die.

"treasure."

"The World Ring of the Kitchen God".

"its mine."

Below the void, near the area containing the thousands of sealed stars, lay a danger so profound that it terrified all the powerful beings. However, the unfortunate immortals who had perished left behind a vast amount of treasures floating in mid-air, tempting many powerful individuals to risk their lives to seize these relics.

After all, those relics that survived the "violent energy impact" will be unearthed, making it relatively easy to collect the treasures at that time.

……

Amidst this chaotic scene, the nine powerful figures, led by the Tower Dragon King and the Seven Swords King, each led their respective teams and quietly observed from afar, showing no signs of anxiety.

Clad in golden armor, his skin gleaming with a dark, eerie light, the powerful mechanical warrior known as "Fate-Destroying King" coldly gazed into the distance, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he said with a hint of disdain, "What a bunch of fools. Do you think the Sealed Star is so easy to obtain? They're all far too impatient... Even before the myriad exits have appeared, even if they manage to obtain the Sealed Star now, they won't be able to escape. They'll only become targets of everyone's wrath, mere pawns."

However, the King of Destiny overlooked one fact... other immortals did not possess his strength. If he did not act early and simply watched foolishly from afar, he might not even have the right to intervene at the last moment, and then there would truly be no hope left.

"Seizing the Zhenfeng Star is only the second objective of this operation. The Seven Sword King is the most important target and must be eliminated." The King of Destiny's eyes were cold as he glanced at the Seven Sword King in the distance once more.

The Machine Race possesses detailed intelligence on the human "Seven Sword Kings." These Seven Sword Kings rank third among the human geniuses the Machine Race currently seeks to assassinate.

The number one ranked player is Jiang Ye, the Realm Lord whose talent is astonishing and even slightly surpasses that of "Kodi". He has already been directly taken in as a personal disciple by the terrifying Chaos City Lord among humans.

However, according to the information, Jiang Ye is currently still cultivating diligently in Chaos City.

Ranking second is the human "Dream King".

Humans, as one of the four top races, are among the top three in assassinating geniuses in the Machine Race. They are all individuals with exceptional talent, unwavering will, and extraordinary opportunities.

Just like the Seven Swords King, the Machine Race has discovered and confirmed that he not only possesses the entire set of incredibly powerful treasures, the "Seven Swords," but also holds several other precious treasures such as the "Void Grip"... Furthermore, according to the Machine Race's speculation, the Seven Swords King must have obtained some extremely special and terrifying inheritance from the universe.

"It's a pity that Jiang Ye, who ranked first and had the most generous assassination rewards, didn't come to the extraterritorial battlefield," King Mingyun thought to himself.

"However, this Seven Sword King of Humanity should not be underestimated. The inheritance he received is very likely from the Ancestral God Cult, the number one power in the universe, and is one of the top inheritances within the Ancestral God Cult." King Mingyun pondered silently in his heart, "If he continues to develop like this, there is a very high possibility that he will become another terrifying existence among the human race in the future. We must nip him in the bud as soon as possible."

"Kill him."

"Even if his teacher could reverse time and space to resurrect him, the price of resurrecting a near-King level invincible powerhouse with such a terrifying inheritance would be no less than that of resurrecting a Universe Venerable. Moreover, his set of 'Seven Swords' treasures, as well as several other treasures such as 'Void Grip'... will all fall into my hands." A greedy glint flashed in the eyes of the Fallen King as he looked once again at the team led by the Seven Swords King in the distance.

At this moment, the Seven Swords King, carrying seven battle swords on his back, stood calmly suspended in the air, gazing at the distant Zhenfeng Star, showing no sign of anxiety.

Just as the King of Destiny was plotting how to kill the Seven Swords King, his gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd on the sealed star. Suddenly, a familiar figure caught his eye—Jiang Ye, but at this moment Jiang Ye's identity was the King of Killing Gold.

The King of Destiny was slightly taken aback, as memories flooded back. Back on the Flame Sacrifice Continent, he had publicly acknowledged the strength of the King of Killing Gold, a unique experience that left a deep impression on him regarding Jiang Ye.
"This human is here too." A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Fallen King.

The reason he publicly acknowledged Jiang Ye's strength was merely to deceive others. He knew that this would deter some people from coveting this human treasure, allowing him to wait for the opportune moment to kill him.

"Given the Rift's vengeful nature, it's unlikely that this human possesses a domain-level treasure; he's probably been framed. But my teacher once said that the Lord of Apocalypse bestowed many treasures upon that Rift, and this human was able to kill him, so he must have treasures on him." With this in mind, the King of Destiny quickly weighed the pros and cons.

But after a moment, his eyes hardened again.

"This human is quite lucky!" King of Destiny sighed inwardly.

Although the King of Gold Slayers may possess a powerful domain-level treasure, the Seven Swords King poses a significantly greater threat to the Machine Race compared to the Seven Swords King. Moreover, the benefits of killing the Seven Swords King appear to far outweigh any action taken against the King of Gold Slayers.

Therefore, the King of Destiny ultimately decided to proceed with the original plan and attack the Seven Swords King with all his might.

Little did he know that the King of Killing Gold before him was none other than Jiang Ye, the top assassin on the Mechanical Race's assassination list.

"Prepare." The Fallen King quietly gave the order, his voice deep yet carrying an undeniable authority, as if it could penetrate the chaotic battlefield and reach the heart of every member of the Machine Race.

The Machine Race is a highly hierarchical group, resembling a perfect pyramid with an extremely strict ruling order. Their intelligent nature makes them incredibly united.

At the command of the highest-ranking figure present, the Destiny King, the other powerful members of the Mechanical Race obeyed without hesitation. As for the other top-tier alien warriors belonging to the Mechanical Race camp, lured by the strict orders of the "Army System in the Virtual World" and the enormous rewards, they were all eager to fight and prepare to give their all.

"Target: The Seven Swords King."

"Option 1".

"Activate the disintegration tower!"

"attack!"

With a series of swift and decisive commands issued by the King of Destiny, a deadly attack targeting the Seven Swords King officially began.
